On‑Call Professional Services

The County of Calaveras is procuring on-call professional engineering services through an Indefinite-Delivery, Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) contract to support a range of capital projects and programs outlined in its 2026 Capital Improvement Program, including land use and development, infrastructure engineering, emergency project delivery under FEMA and FHWA guidelines, integrated waste management, and maintenance activities. The solicitation, numbered 25-1200-27-925, is open for responses until June 23, 2026, and is structured around a five-year maximum term with task orders issued as needed, subject to funding availability. Offerors must submit a Statement of Qualifications limited to 12 pages, excluding resumes, through the Public Purchase portal, with separate electronic cost submissions required but excluded from the main package. Evaluation is based on a trade-off process weighting experience and qualifications at 30%, relevant past projects at 25%, management and organizational capability at 20%, firm description at 15%, and general team structure at 10%, with no price-based scoring. The contract mandates compliance with federal-aid requirements, Caltrans standards, California prevailing wage laws, and federal regulations including 49 CFR Part 26 for Disadvantaged Business Enterprise participation and Title VI non-discrimination requirements. All deliverables—including environmental documentation, plans, specifications, and estimates—must be produced under professional seal and are the exclusive property of the County. The Consultant is required to maintain key personnel as identified in the proposal, obtain prior written approval for any changes, and adhere to strict safety protocols including OSHA and CAL-OSHA standards. Equipment purchases exceeding $5,000 require prior authorization, with the County retaining rights to credit for the fair market value of any retained or sold property. Invoicing is submitted monthly or upon task completion to the County’s Public Works Department in San Andreas, with payment contingent on formal acceptance by the County’s Contract Administrator and full compliance with audit and financial reporting standards under GAGAS, FAR Part 31, and 2 CFR Part 200. The contract includes comprehensive clauses on confidentiality, data ownership, audit rights, subcontracting, conflict of interest, and prohibition of lobbying using public funds, with all subcontracts required to flow down these obligations.
